Students at Camino Nuevo Charter AcademyThe Mission of the School Partners Program is to engage students in high quality music learning experiences and to increase support for music education at the school level.
School Partners Program - Elementary
The Elementary School Partners Program complements existing music education efforts in schools. Los Angeles Philharmonic musicians and teaching artists teach students about the orchestra with a focus on Classical repertoire. Teaching artists work collaboratively with classroom teachers, finding connections between the music curriculum and the general curriculum. Students work on multi-week projects that give them opportunities to create music. Additionally, all participating students attend a school-day concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall. This program is geared for students in grades three through six.
